I'm inviting you all to join:
A Deck Of Me ~ 2008 *!*
I sent (and gave out) a deck of cards out to all of my friends With this attached:
52 cards in a deck
52 weeks in a year
Coincidence?
Well...yeah probably.
But what a cute little coincidence it is!
These cards are for you to create a mini journal of sorts for 2008. Just hear me out here~this is going to be fun.
This is not like a regular journal {which I hope you have already}. Every week {on Monday} I will give you a prompt/topic to write about, sketch about, make your own little masterpiece about, whatever your little heart desires...all on your tiny little 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" canvas. Scared?...Don't be! Once a week~a half an hour {maybe more, maybe less-totally up to you}~both sides of a playing card...how hard can it be?
I want all of you strong, wonderful, beautiful, creative {oh yes you are}, ladies to take just a tiny moment for yourselves each week to find that little artist, that little bit of whimsy bouncing around in there {oh yes, it's there}, and let it out! At the end of 52 weeks...A deck of you!
OK, I'll stop there and give more info if you declare yourself "IN".
I know this is SOOOOO not up some of your alleys~this is NOT a big deal...just a tiny little something to help expand your horizons a bit and give that right side of your brain a kick in the pants.
And hey, if you end up just playing Go Fish or Slap Jack {Holy cow, remember playing Slap Jack as a kid? That NEVER ended well did it?}
with them that's okay too~really.
Let me know if you're on board ASAP...if you don't, I'll just sit here in front of the computer wondering....for hours....seriously.........
Here are some links to blogs of ladies who just completed their decks from last year. These ladies are crazy {in a VERY good way} crafty, and talented so please don't be intimidated...I just want you to get a feel for what it's all about. Just a little thought provoking, artsy-ish fun!

helloo sunshine! I posted my first card to flickr!
i'm debating...i tried this last year and i think that i only made it to week 8 and that was before i had the baby to keep up with... let me see if i can come up with a do-able format/plan...smiles!
You know I'm going to give it a try but I don't have the creative gene that most have. BOTH sides of the card?? I guess I thought it was one. Hmm, already thinking of what to do. Will start it tomorrow! Long day at work today and soccer tonight.
I saw this last year and loved the idea. I may try it since it's the start of a brand new year! The Valentine Swap should be a lot of fun. Glad you signed up!
I'm in and ready to go with it!
